Patrick agrees to proposed voluntary cuts

Budget cuts proposed earlier this week by the state’s Trial Court, attorney general and district attorneys were in line with figures announced by Gov. Deval L. Patrick at a press conference this afternoon.

As expected, Patrick said the Trial Court would slash $33 million from its budget, and the district attorneys would lose a combined $3 million. Cuts for Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office were set at $500,000. Coakley had earlier said her office would trim between $500,000 and $1 million.

Patrick said he would introduce legislation to “ratify” the voluntary cuts made by the Trial Court, which fall outside his budget-cutting authority.
